Whoops, maybe I should have thought of that! My confusion came because there isn't really a 'Statistics' a level to the best of my knowledge, rather you do statistics modules along side pure modules in Maths.

I would say Further maths is looked on very highly for any subject requiring maths, might be worth checking with the sixth form to see how many statistics modules they do, if this is the area you're particularly interested in.

Hopefully I've clarified things, if not or if you have more questions, feel free to ask!

Ahh see I've been looking at taking courses i.e. http://www.ool.co.uk/course/a-level/ and it seems that pure maths/further maths is the equivalent to 2 a-levels whereas maths and statistics is just a singular a-level while taking stats units which makes it seem like they're actually different a-levels.

I've emailed the company for more info.

Yes, it looks as though the two courses are actually the same qualification, in one they sit only pure units and in the other Statistics along side pure (you do the same number of units for both) I would suggest choosing the one which you enjoy more as the difference to a University/Employer would be almost insignificant.
